"Since you are the young prince's uncle... then I am sorry for being rude." Seeing that Su Liu had finally been fooled, Cao Meng pretended to be scared. He covered his bleeding forehead while carefully bending over to pick up the murder weapon with a corner missing - the top-quality inkstone produced in Duanxi, and then slowly left the study with his colleagues.

This is a victory for scholars.

At least that's what Su Liu thought when he was surrounded and cheered by his classmates after Cao Meng and the other two left.

but……

This happiness did not last long.

“Where are the people?!” - Not long after Cao Meng left, Kong Yingda, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, who had been delayed for a while because the news was reported layer by layer, finally arrived at the scene.

"Master Jijiu." Su Liu had no idea what was about to happen to him, or what was about to happen to the Imperial College. He hugged the frightened Mubian Liulang by the shoulders and said to Kong Yingda with a smug look on his face, "Two ignorant messengers came to take Mubian Liulang for questioning, but I chased them away."

"......" Kong Yingda was not a stupid person. At least when he heard that it was Su Liu who drove away the messenger, he knew that he was in big trouble.

Your Highness the Crown Prince...Alas!

Thinking of the private speculations between himself, Li Gang and Lu Deming, Kong Yingda suddenly had a bad feeling, so he turned to ask the doctor of mathematics who was in charge of teaching Su Liu and others: "Master Liu, did the other party tell us who the master of their family is?"

"Master Jijiu, their attitude was very arrogant at the time, but... after learning about Su Liu's identity, they retreated." The questioned Master Liu thought about it and finally gave a slow answer: "But from beginning to end, the other party did not explain their identities, and the official uniforms they wore... seemed to be ordinary minor officials, which was not surprising."

"Master Jijiu, something bad has happened—" Just as Kong Yingda was about to give the order that the Imperial College would temporarily close for three days starting today, a student from the Imperial College suddenly stumbled in and said, "There are people outside... There are many soldiers from the Sixteen Guards!"

"It's over... It's completely over..." Kong Yingda no longer had to guess - in Chang'an, apart from His Majesty, only His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu could have the Sixteen Guards surround the Imperial College - this kind of thing... Even the Crown Prince doesn't have the courage...

His Highness...he finally found out...

"Oh, a familiar face." When Ashina She'er, Ashina Simo, Qibi Heli, Zhishisili, and Ashina Helu, with their respective 16 guards, surrounded the Imperial College, His Royal Highness the King of Chu's "enemy priest" - Xie Minlin, who was born in the Xie family of Chen County, suddenly appeared outside the study.

Beside him followed a group of Dou's soldiers who were fully armored.

"Master Kong, Master Kong..." From the first moment he made eye contact with Kong Yingda, Xie Minlin couldn't help but smile: "It's been nearly 20 years since we last met, but Master Kong is still as charming as ever..."

"......" Kong Yingda didn't know what to say at this moment. He was filled with only fear and dread towards Xie Minlin.

"Su Liu, you can take it away... I won't stop you." Kong Yingda was silent for a while, and finally gave in: "As for the others... Mubian Liulang is just a-"

"——Hit him to death." Xie Minlin didn't wait for Kong Yingda to finish his plea, and ordered the Dou family members around him: "Master Kong's face... I can't give it to you no matter what."

Otherwise, how can I be worthy of my dead brother?

So, the next moment, two of Dou's men who received the order stepped out and dragged Mubian Liulang, who was hiding behind the door, out of the study.

"Brother Su...save me...save me!" The only hope of Mubian Rokuro at this moment was Su Liu, who was hiding behind the crowd with trembling legs and wet crotch.

And Su Liu can only pretend to be a dead dog now.

"Swish!" - The execution of Kibe Rokuro was actually very hasty. As soon as he was dragged down the stairs, he was chopped on the neck with a knife. The blood splattered everywhere and his head fell to the ground. The group of Imperial College students who were cheering before were all silent after seeing this scene.

"Mr. Xie, what about Su Liu?" Qibi Heli, who had already sent his men to arrest the Japanese students, also came to the garden with the injured Cao Meng. He first glanced at the head on the ground, and then turned to Kong Yingda, who was standing on the steps with a gloomy face, and said, "Mr. Kong, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has ordered that the people who injured his Honglu Temple Pavilion Chief should be punished according to Tang law for ordinary fights that see blood and are considered injuries. Su Liu is a civilian who injured an official, which is an even greater crime, and he should be punished with 80 strokes of the cane!"

"I won't stop him..." Kong Yingda didn't expect that His Royal Highness the King of Chu would either not take action or kill someone if he did - eighty strokes of the cane... Would Su Liu still be able to survive...

But... when he took a look at the man standing behind Qibi Heli, with a large blood scab on his forehead and the murder weapon in his hand - the inkstone, he couldn't help feeling powerless in his heart.

"Since you're not stopping me, then get out of the way." If Xie Minlin hadn't taken into consideration his current status as a worshiper of the Dou family, he would really have killed the guy who indirectly caused his brother's tragic death.

"..."Kong Yingda, who knew that he had done something wrong to both His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu and Xie Minlin from the beginning to the end, silently stepped aside when he heard the words.

As he gave way, the students of the Imperial College standing behind him involuntarily made way for him.

So... Su Liu, who was about to escape through the window, was exposed in front of everyone.

"You can't run away." Qibi Heli couldn't help but sneer when he saw Su Liu preparing to escape: "At this moment, there are more than 2,000 armored soldiers in the entire Imperial College. If you dare to escape, we can execute you on the spot!"

"I...I want to see His Royal Highness the King of Chu..." Su Liu still doesn't understand what he did wrong.

Even though he likes to bully men and women on a daily basis, he believes that he has never offended His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

"Come on, Mr. Su, stop fantasizing and let's finish our serious business first." Qibi Heli said as he took the inkstone from Cao Meng with a smile.

At the same time, his soldiers had already escorted Su Liu out of the study and into the courtyard.

"Push him down." Qibi Heli knew that time was limited.

"Woo woo..." Su Liu wanted to speak again, but someone blocked his troublesome mouth with a rag that was found from somewhere.

"Captain Cao, which hand did he hit you with?" Qibi Heli was usually a polite person, and he liked people like Cao Meng, who had a promising future.

"General, he used his right hand." Cao Meng obviously knew what the other party was going to do next.
